Lecture 2: More Vocabulary For this lecture, it is like having a Guest Lecturer. You have all been in classes or taught classes in which you had a guest speaker. That is what we have for this lecture. This lecture is a 12 minutes video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INC7mF19Q1c called Understanding eLearning and Educational Technology Terms by Ellen MurphyPublished on Nov 23, 2013 iteravi Founder Ellen Murphy explains and demonstrates common but often confusing and contradictory eLearning and educational technology terms.

From: : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INC7mF19Q1cCONCLUDING REMARKS: This lecture will address some specific terms you will find us using extensively in the course and professional development activities. Surely you can invest 12 minutes in this lecture; just be glad you do not have to sit through it and other stuff at the end of a busy day of teaching. You can watch it anytime you have 12 minutes and Internet access with sufficient bandwidth to carry a video. Some of you may actually watch this on your Smartphone while you wait for your little soccer player or you older ballerina to finish games or lessons. You may have mobile tools on which you watch videos for entertainment; you can do the same for this little ‘guest lecture’. You can watch (and listen) as many times as you need to do so in order to feel comfortable with the terms she discusses. You can watch it casually as you wait for your class to return from music class, for example. Then later, at home, in your bunny slippers and polka dot pjs[1] you can watch again and, if you want, take notes on the terms she mentions which are new to you. Bring your list to school the next day and talk about those terms with your colleagues. And if you need to do so, you can get with a colleague and watch the 12 minutes again, even stopping it to talk about the terms. Cool, huh? Just be sure, at the end of whatever process you use, you understand the major terms she reviews and explains.

[1] Okay---so maybe I am the only one with bunny slippers and polka dot pajamas! But surely have some outfit in which you ‘kick back’ and relax! All teachers do, I think. You will find this may help you as you approach the learning activities and the assignments, this week and beyond. Now --- go on to the Learning Activities for this week.
